The Netflix Our Planet looks great on Dolby Vision 4K on my new LG OLED tv. No hassle just press the Netflix button on the remote select the program and it works. So glad that I replaced the Samsung. ... View more

Thanks for the football information.   I decided two weeks ago to give up on the Samsung J series which is now relegated to our bedroom.   I replaced it with a LG OLED55B8 set purchased from Richer Sounds. The picture quality is really really sharp and detailed especially when playing 4K  Dolby Vision   Blurays  on my newly acquired Sony player, Netflix in Dolby Vision is also very detailed .  Highly recommended makes the Samsung look rather primitive. It does take time to adjust to the magic wand remote, but with built in Netflix and Amazon buttons it is simple to use ... View more

Thanks   When we started this thread it was about displaying a 4K picture from the Iplayer  and Samsumgs reluctance to update the onboard software.   The Amazon stick appears to  be a cheap method of achieving this aim even if not  in the HLG format. There is  currentlyonly  one 4K program on the Iplayer so perhaps the whole exercise is rather academic. A plus side of using the stick is that it is far quicker than the built in software. ...

I am rather confused.   I have watched two episodes of Dynasties on the Iplayer selecting the UHD version on the 4K Amazon  stick  attached to my J series TV.   I have switched back and  forth to the same program on the  Iplayer built into the TV   (standard version)   and the  Amazon stick picture is far more detailed.  When I pause the stick the words UHD appear beside the time stats. Are you suggesting that the picture is not actally in 4K ???   Thanks  ... View more

I have just started to test the new Amazon 4K stick with my J series Tv.   The picture quality on the 4k Dynasties is a big improvement over the HD Iplayer built into the Samsung. The Iplayer is also far quicker.   When I press the info button on the Samsung remote it always displays 3180X2160/60p  even when playing non 4K videos fromthe Iplayer/Amazon and Netflix despite setting the stick to ouput at the resolution of the source material. It is not clear if the false information is being generated by the stick or by the tv.   Has anyone else tested the 4K Amazon stick ??     ... View more

Can someone please explain in simple in not too technical  terms where J series owners stand with the Roku stick and the 4K Iplayer   Thanks   Maurice ... View more

My set does not have a game mode therefore I was unable to perform the test. However I was able to watch clips  on the Youtube HDR channel and also play HDR HLG test samples.   Not really sure if the resolution was really HDR HLG. ... View more

I have just updated my UE48JU6400K  using download from Samsungs website.   As stated by disrember no obvious change to the Iplayer which was unable to locate the Blue Planet 2 demo. The changes made by the update are not obvious and I have been unable to locate release notes.   ... View more

Thank you   As a J series owner I agree with the change of title as I originally subscribed to this thread  due to my disappointment that the tv was unable to display the Iplayer  in 4K. ... View more

Thanks Chris   I agree I will never purchase another Samsung tv. I almost purchased a Sony but was advised  by Richer Sounds that the Sony Android system had lots of issues at that time.  We can only make a  judgement  at the time of purchace and hope that manufacturers will support their products. Samsung are treating tvs just like their mobiles,bring out a new model and forget about updating last years products.   M ... View more

Please excuse my ignorance. If I was to purchase a fully Iplayer 4K compatible Amazon or Roku stick in the future  once the BBC starts regular 4K Iplayer transmissions will it work and overcome the deficiencies on my J series tv.   Thanks ... View more

I agree.   What us J and K series owners really want is for Samsung to update the sets so that we can receive the I player in 4K.   This thread has in recent weeks been dominated by other related subjects and we seem to have forgotten the original purpose of opening the thread. ... View more

I have submitted the following complaint to Watchdog Samsung are refusing to update 14/15 and 15/16  and some 2017 televisions that would allow their customers receive Blue planet 2 and subsequent broadcasts in 4K. Most of their competitors have released the necessary firmware. They  appear to have a policy of making their televisions obsolete over night. Can you please help   thousands of owners update their televisions by putting pressure on Samsung .   Information about this issue can be found on the official Samsung website :- https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/TV-Audio-Video/Blue-Planet-2-HLG-No-Samsung/td-p/339023   Thanks I  purchased my set a UE48JU6400 in 2016 thus the chances of Samsung updating it are probably slim.   I am hoping that if the BBC receive enough complaints they may put pressure on Samsung to update the Iplayer and firmware.   ...
